1 X. - -x l.- ft .X L -' Eureka College October 15, 1941 Dear Folks: Well, this has really been an exciting week, although not in the way of college life. The draft and registration have pushed everything else into the background. Everyone who is of age seems to be of the same opinion-he doesn't Want to go. Oh, some try laughing it off, but it is easy to see that behind the front they are doing some pretty deep thinking. It is pretty awful at that. Here I have spent tour years of my life and many of your dollars on my college education, only to graduate into the army. Even if a guy did get a high draft number he couldn't get a job. Nobody Will Want to train men only to lose them in a short time. Eleanor and I have talked it over several times. Gosh, it is going to be hard leaving her. A year is a long time, and a lot of things can happen. I wouldn't mind going quite so much if I could see any justification for the Whole dam system. I certainly can't see any value in learning the manual of arms or squads right. And as far as protecting America goes-I have yet to read ot a military expert who says there is the rernotest possibility of invasion. Oh, Well, maybe it Will come out all right, but it certainly has me Worried. See you at graduation. Your son, Tommy - 10 - i
